Enable
Bypass with 100 nF capacitor to GND as close to the device as possible.
Connect to > 2.4V to enable the device or to < 0.8V for low power shutdown.
Connect a capacitor to GND to compensate control loop.
Connect a resistor to GND to set the signal current. Can also be used to analog
dim as explained in the Thermal Foldback / Analog Dimming section.
Connect a resistor to GND to set the switching frequency. Can also be used
to synchronize external clock as explained in the Switching Frequency section.
Connect a PWM signal for dimming as detailed in the PWM Dimming section
and/or a resistor divider from V
Connect a capacitor to GND to extend start-up time.
Connect a resistor to GND to set the foldback slope.
Connect a resistor/ thermistor divider from V
explained in the Thermal Foldback / Analog Dimming section.
Connect a resistor divider from V
2.45V reference for temperature foldback circuit and other external circuitry.
Connect a resistor divider from V
Connect to gate of dimming MosFET.
Connect to DAP to provide proper system GND
Connect to gate of main switching MosFET.
Bypass with a 2.2 µF – 3.3 µF, ceramic capacitor to GND.
Connect to the drain of the main N-channel MosFET switch for R
or to a sense resistor installed in the source of the same device.
Connect a resistor to GND to set slope of additional ramp.
Connect through a series resistor to LED current sense resistor (negative).
Connect through a series resistor to LED current sense resistor (positive).
Connect to GND. Refer to
